To plan upcoming 100 years of success, society needs to develop and organize updated education system. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems of the teachers and the resistance that came across on their way of professional career. The study determine the problems such as stress, work life conflict, heterogeneous attitude of students, lack of career opportunities, lack of resources, poor public perception, behavioral problem of student due to different family background and poor relationship with boss that not only decrease the professional effectiveness but also effect the personal life. The objectives of this research is to study the internal and external factors that affects the teacher performance. To analyze the determinants of teacher’s problems and how they decrease the career output. The study recommends them how to cope with these issues. A sample of 12 teachers taken from different departments of IUB and semi structure interview technique is used to conduct the survey. These records were analyzed by categories in form to achieve research objectives. The data were interrupted and evaluated by the content analysis technique. The content analysis technique reveal that teacher will show their better expertise if they are facilitate by latest technology for teaching and it will also help them to keep involve and motivate the students. On the same time teacher have to work on professional deficiencies of the students through friendly discussion. This enable the teacher to identify the aim and goal of the student and help and guide them the right path that take the student to their dream. They work family stress can be minimizing by proper time management and there are must be family’s get-togethers so that families interact with each other and know about the working environment. The current educational setup must give some incentives along with productive measure such that; provide teachers opportunity of research and training with their family. In this way they can well managed their personal and family life. Politics is part of every profession people do anything with this other than just to do their work in the best way with patience. These people are basically showing hypocrisy so leave them on their own way. Poor public perception such as teachers scandalizing can be reducing if we enlarge the canvas of our sight. Technical, organizational and philosophical and behavioral barriers can be overcome if we try to sort out. If we start with something small and simpler this allows us to resolve the issues from scratch. Very simple conclusion is that teachers must be prepared for some hard work, a little frustration, and a great deal of satisfaction in becoming a more effective educator. Rules and regulations of teaching practice should be defined by the institutions before the student teachers go for teaching practice. It will not only help the student teachers but also the supervisors to achieve the predefined targets. Specific teachers should be appointed by the concerning departments to observe teaching of student teachers so that they may stay whole day in school to check the activities of the students and comment honestly. Feedback from student teachers regarding the problems faced by them should be considered important to improve the practice for next time. Institutions should try to fill the gap between theory and practice because sometimes the situation is different to that taught to the students in theory so to save the student teachers from any sort of bewilderment. In a nut shell this study conclude that nothing is impossible as the word impossible itself says that I am possible. Problems do no longer exist and can be eliminated by proper management of time, labor and efficiency. If teachers will be satisfied then they are able to deliver their best.
